Finished Basic Javascript, ES6 & Regular Expressions of the Basic Javascript today. What can I say? Responsive Web Design challenges were waaaay easier. More hitting the wall, less rolling over the challenges, more "hey I am really fit for this!?" thoughts (is that what they call the Impostor Syndrom?).
The hardest challenges were recursive functions (still not sure I got them right, probably not, probably need much more practice) and (surprisingly for me) regular expressions (I've spent more time on these 33 challenges than on both Basic JS & ES6 (111 + 31).
Interestingly enough I've found that the best way for me to solve the hardest challenges was to get away from my PC and walk the dogs or go to sleep (I've literally found the solution for two challenges while falling asleep and they worked the next day).
Also YouTube suggested a video from this channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFbNIlppjAuEX4znoulh0Cw about making a calculator using HTML + CSS + JS. I've spent some time on it and found that I know HTML & CSS, but not enough JS for this yet. Nevertheless it was very satsifying to see a (even not working) calculator with a nice design and clickable buttons made by myself :) Probably sounds funny, but it really helped me to keep going.
I've started 30 Days of Code challenge on https://www.hackerrank.com/, but again this was a bit more than I could chew for now. Maybe later.
That's all for this post. Let's get to debugging challenges.
